Now I really want to try making a zucchini-cucumbersauce

Bleek toch niet zo leeg. Of in ieder geval niet zonder consequenties

Sure, but gathering wood takes a lot of effort and energy. It’s an option if you don’t have the filters, but the original question was why not distill if boiling and filtering ends up in “not great”.

If I have to survive, and I can do with boiling and filtering, I’ll take “not great” water over spending hours gathering and chopping wood to keep a fire going long enough to vaporize a liter of water.

And a massive amount of fuel.

Have you ever tried to evaporate a liter of water? It takes a lot of energy to do so. Fun for a science project, but if you need enough to stay alive/be comfortable, it’s a lot easier to bring water.

Nono, that would be unsafe

Don’t rule out coincidence.

The odds of you and 4 colleagues getting the same disease by chance are really low. The odds of that happening to some group among the billions on this planet is a lot higher

Don’t do this at home.

Not every restaurant in the michelin guide has a star. Most don’t.

I wish Valve would accelerate VR gaming on linux as much as well. It’s mhe only thing blocking me from switching.

I love it when they have a crunchy outer side. Much stronger flavour

If a driveway directly leads into a high flow road, you have a stroad problem, not a roundabout problem.

although English officially isn’t a foreign language anymore due to the quality and quantity of English speakers and there are discussions to make English the third national language.

Do you have a source for this? I’m Dutch native too, and have never heard of this.

The majority of Dutch people speak English at a decent level, but there are no non-immigrant native English speakers.

Making a second decision mandatory makes it harder to change existing laws. This can be a good thing in some cases, but not always. It increases conservatism (in that it’s harder to change things).
